Exclusion Clauses

Exclusion clauses are provisions in contracts that limit or exclude one party's liability for certain issues or damages. Essentially, they specify situations where a party cannot be held responsible for failing to meet obligations, such as in cases of negligence or unforeseen events. These clauses are meant to protect businesses from excessive claims. However, for such clauses to be enforceable, they must be clearly stated and agreed upon by both parties. In some jurisdictions, consumer protection laws may restrict the use of exclusion clauses to ensure fairness.
